Motion Practice

A motion is a request for relief from the court. Motions are submitted at various stages of a case and for various reasons including permission to file a late claim; requiring the opposing party to disclose information; or a motion to dismiss a claim or the entire case. An Order to Show Cause is similar to a motion but it is time sensitive. To learn more about Orders to Show Cause click HERE.
